Grade: 7.2 (Roman Law)
Observations/ Account
(What Happened?)
Analyzing and Evaluation:
The students were more interested in
analyzing and evaluation of Roman laws.
They asked many questions about the laws.
Grammatical mistake:
I made a grammatical error (instead of Do
you agree? I typed Are you agree?).
Reflections & Critical Response
(What do I think of it? What went well? What
could be improved? How? What will I do
differently? How does this connect to the theory I
have read from class?)
The analyzing and evaluation went well as
the students were asking many questions.
They complained about some laws and I
asked them what kind of changes they
wanted to make. The reflection part was
good too as they wrote about their own
country laws and evaluated whether those
laws are effective or not. Writing reflection
is a familiar thing in ITC. I also believe
that when we reflect, we would be able to
know more about ourselves, strengths and
weaknesses and we can be improved more
and more as we practice self-evaluation
and self-reflecting.
Unexpectedly, one student realized that
mistake and told to his friends by
projecting his voice and made fun of me.
In his worksheet, he even answered I are
agree, I are not agree. I felt bad about that
and I apologized for my mistake (I should
have double checked). It was a great
experience as I learned how to laugh along
making jokes instead of taking it serious.
On the other hand, as Christian teachers,
we should redeem our students from being
fallen in inappropriate manners as it could
mean humiliation and it might hurt others.
